WOW - we were all so overwhelmed at last week's response to our Love challenge. Thank you so much to everyone of you who participated.Can you feel the change in the season approaching? Here in Australia we haven't had much of a summer, it has been fairly cool and wet. With only a few weeks of summer left though, you can see the autumn coming. It is wonderful, autumn is my favourite time of year.

Our challenge this week is a nice versatile one. This week's challenge is....

A SKETCH by our own Kristy Young.

The Design Team have once again done a fabulous job with the sketch, so lets take a look:

Oh My Goodness - were you ever a Loved Up bunch this week - LOL. We were blown away by 126 FABULOUS entries and just loved spending time checking them all out. With all the craziness in the world today it was wonderful to be surrounded by so much beauty and love!

The hard part was trying to narrow it down to a winner and Top 5 - I'm sooo glad I have the amazing MDUC DT to help me out with this. Without further ado we'd LOVE you to help us congratulate our winner......

We are back with another fun challenge for you today. But before we get into that, we just wanted to let you know that we have a little change to the closing time of our challenge. Until now it was 12:00 noon on Saturday Melbourne time, but in order for us to collect the votes for the winners and top 5 we have adjusted the time back to 8:00am on Saturday. There is a clock in the sidebar set at the correct time so please just check there if you are not sure. Now with the business out of the way... lets get onto our new challenge!

With Valentines Day just around the corner, we thought it was time for a little love fest here at Magnolia Down Under... so the challenge this week is.....

LOVE - it can be a Valentines Day project, or wedding, baby - the choice is yours, so long as it is clear to us its luuurrrvvvee :)
So.. withour further ado, here are the amazing interpretations from our Design Team!

Hi Everyone - Debbie P here back from holidays and wanting to thank the gorgeous Karen for looking after the winner's posts for me while I was away - she did a fantastic job as I'm sure you'll all agree. I had a blast while visiting New Zealand with my family but I did miss seeing everyone's gorgeous entries. It was great getting back into it this week - and once again you guys haven't disappointed! I've always LOVED embossing and it was fun seeing all the different ways you guys embossed.

It was pretty tough picking just one winner this week but we'd like to congratulate.....

Gloria D {60}

Isn't this a beautiful card and a deserving winner, the colour combo is stunning and the details fabulous! If you want to see more of Gloria's gorgeous work check out her blog HERE - and make sure to check out her cute Fimo characters too, they are as wonderfully detailed as her cards.

Now onto our Top 5 for this week - and you guys made it really difficult to narrow down to just 5 - though we LOVE a tough voting week because it means we have soooo many gorgeous entries to drool over - LOL.
